#worldplay

I've got a couple original universes that are sort of....vaguely in development, kind of, once in a blue moon, if I feel like it. Honestly original fiction isn't really my thing, I prefer to go absolutely bonkers with the framework of someone else's world in general. But I do have two main Things I could mention.

Tales From The Cities Of Glass is the sort of....umbrella term/name/whatever I tout the cool worldbuilding universe by. This is the one with wild and funky worldbuilding. The idea for it originally came out of a trippy dream I had in a half hour nap with some frankly baller stuff in it. The universe is cool as heck but I don't really have any stories I super want to write in it, so rip. Really is awesome though, wish it was someone else's baby so I could just read some books in it and not bear the responsibility of having to write it (but also you can pry this universe from my cold dead fingers so 🔪).

Wor(l)dplay is the working title of the other one. It's a weird crack treated semi seriously universe where the god of magic (and sapience in general) is a slut for wordplay and puns so your creations/self/children/pets/livestock are about 5000% more likely to end up magical if you name them something clever or punny. This has led to the existence of a thriving population of sapient objects with names like the Hireplace (sentient fireplace that operates as a job agency), Bedward (a bed at an inn who bestows pleasant dreams), Samulet (a magical amulet that the MC learned martial arts from), and the main characters of the hypothetical storyline: the brothers who share the surname Whacksmith, whose family specialises in the smithing of hammers maces and other blunt force applied objects.
